Onion article “COMMUNITY VOICES Somebody Should Do Something About All The Problems Why isn't anyone doing anything about all the problems? We're living in a time with supercomputers and underwater sea stations and million-dollar laboratories. And still, every day when I watch the TV news shows, I see all sorts of problems! What are the scientists doing with all that technology? Just sitting on their patoots? Just yesterday there was another plane crash. Isn't that what we have radar for? Why Heare Me Out isn't someone tak- By Edith Heare ing care of that? And then there's all those people starving. You can't tell me that we can't figure out a way to feed them. What about all those high-energy vitamin supplements I read about? And what about the dehydrated space food? Someone has got to And now I have shingles again. With the hundreds of thousands of doctors all over this world, you are telling me that not one of them can do anything about this pain? It's killing me. This is the 20th century, isn't it? We put a man on the moon and I can't find an hour of relief from the swelling? Can't someone assign a team to this problem and get something done for once? Then there's the fact that my kids never visit me. Here I sit, all alone, wondering when they'll come. We have jet planes that break the sound barrier, but Ginny can't make it from Elk Grove once a month so I can see my own flesh and blood? The Hubble sent down pictures of the galaxy, but I have yet to see my granddaughter's fourth-grade school portraits! They build a wall across China and a thousand years later I'm still putting up with my neighbor's pine trees dropping cones all over my front lawn. Isn't this a democracy? Have we stood still since Rome? I hear jabber jabbering about the discovery of new subatomic particles. What good is a quark…”

“I can feel the roots moving across the land, gouging new channels through our eager flesh, seeking blood. The flower will bloom, the fragrance will remind us of good times. We will go willingly with a smile on our lips and love in our hearts. We will go because we do not want to learn another way to live. We would rather die. Or, perhaps, a voice will come down from the mountain, a bush will burn, new tablets of stone will heave into view like spacecraft. We could turn it all around and kill the garden. We could share food with the hungry, shelter with the people freezing in the storm. Love with the people who are crying in the rain. Take power. The answers are as simple as the questions.”
This was their national anthem, which was pure balder-dash, like so much they were expected to take seriously: O, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? * There were one quadrillion nations in the Universe, but the nation Dwayne Hoover and Kilgore Trout belonged to was the only one with a national anthem which was gibberish sprinkled with question marks. Here is what their flag looked like: [drawing of an American Flag]
“Imagine the problem is not physical. Imagine the problem has never been physical, that it is not biodiversity, it is not the ozone layer, it is not the greenhouse effect, the whales, the old-growth forest, the loss of jobs, the crack in the ghetto, the abortions, the tongue in the mouth, the diseases stalking everywhere as love goes on uncon-cerned. Imagine the problem is not some syndrome of our society that can be solved by commissions or laws or a redistribution of what we call wealth. Imagine that it goes deeper, right to the core of what we call our civilization and that no one outside of ourselves can effect real change, that our civilization, our governments are sick and that we are mentally ill and spiritually dead and that all our issues and crises are symptoms of this deeper sick-ness. Imagine the problem is not physical and no amount of driving, no amount of road will deal with the problem. Imagine that the problem is not that we are powerless or that we are victims but that we have lost the fire and belief and courage to act. We hear whispers of the future but we slap our hands against our ears, we catch glimpses but turn our faces swiftly aside.”

“For Christ's sake, let's help more of our frightened people get through this thing, whatever it is. Why throw money at problems? That is what money is for. Should the nation's wealth be redistributed? It has been and continues to be redistributed to a few people in a manner strikingly un-helpful.”
I bought tickets for me and my son, who was already a die-hard MST3K fan at thirteen, just a year younger than I was when I saw Time of the Apes in 1989. The series had never been on TV during his lifetime, but he didn't care. When I told Hodgson about Dylan's abiding love for his creation, he wasn't surprised. "Kids like the show—and they don't have a problem with references they don't understand, because their life is like that. They're constantly being confronted with things they don't understand, but they start to find meaning in the words and the tone in which they're delivered. The way we move into the world is the same way. You kind of learn things by proxy."
“Not a hope. I know where I am, and who, and what day it is. These are the tests, and I am sane. Sanity is a valuable possession; I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes.”

Over 60 percent of commuters who drive to the central business district make more than $100,000 per year, and 30 percent of those commuters make over $200,000 per year, according to Replica, an independent traffic modeling firm that uses anonymous cell phone and transaction data, Census counts and other publicly available data. The 'Little Guys' Annual median income of people who commute by car into Manhattan's central business district. Long Island $169,000 Northern Suburbs $168,000 New Jersey $141,000 Inside NYC $114,000 in
To the question of who actually gains from improved public transit and half priced fares for the working poor, CSS found that approximately 2.2 million city residents rely on public transit to get to work, including 190,000 working poor who would also be eligible for half-priced MetroCards. Conversely, CSS found that 118,000 outer-borough residents who get to work by driving or as passengers would potentially pay a fee, including 5,000 working poor. Thus, for every New York City outer-borough commuter that would pay the new tolls, 18 would gain from transit upgrades. But the working poor would benefit by a dramatically higher margin of 38 to one from a congestion pricing revenue stream used to fund both transit upgrades and the 'Fair Fares' discounts for the lowest-income riders.
London's charging program has outlasted two mayors including Boris Johnson), six British prime ministers (also including Johnson), and one monarch. It has helped cut car traffic into the city center almost in half and raised billions for transit and road reconfigurations, enabling access by many more commuters and visitors to London's central area, which in size and function resembles Manhattan south of 60th st.

MTA Board Member Veronica Vanterpool said, "This analysis continues to debunk the myth that congestion pricing would disproportionately impact the working poor. The most progressive policy simultaneously reduces gridlock on NYC streets while providing a sustainable revenue stream to fix and expand our transit network."
But not here; not in this gentle, tedious backwater; not in Port Ticonderoga, despite a druggie or two in the parks, despite the occasional break-in, despite the occasional body found floating around in the eddies. We hunker down here, drinking our bedtime drinks, nibbling our bedtime snacks, peering at the world as if through a secret window, and when we've had enough of it we turn it off. So much for the twentieth century, we say, as we make our way upstairs. But there's a far-off roaring, like a tidal wave racing inshore. Here comes the twenty-first century, sweeping overhead like a spaceship filled with ruthless lizard-eyed aliens or a metal pterodactyl. Sooner or later it will sniff us out, it will tear the roofs off our flimsy little burrows with its iron claws, and then we will be just as naked and shivering and starving and diseased and hopeless as the rest. Excuse this digression. At my age you indulge in these apocalyptic visions. You say, The end of the world is at hand. You

The future that Trumpism offers is, at bottom, a ritual repetition of Trump’s own personal endless present. In this sense, Trump himself may be the biggest obstacle to his son’s ambitions. His is a party in honor of nothing but itself, and only that, for as long as he can hang on. All of America, some in notably more comfortable seats than others, is trapped together in a gilded ballroom, watching this hideous family toast their overweening patriarch over and over again. Trump is served a big piece of chocolate cake and everyone cheers. Something is burning outside. There are thin, insistent sheets of seawater sneaking under the doors now. But this is all they’ve got, and they are going to keep raising their glasses to the brutal moment they’ve made until it is pushed into the past. They do not want to go home. Until they are kicked out, they won’t.”
